The Inkling Effect

Escaping Your Accidental Life


Listen Later

What if you woke up one day and realised you were living someone else's life? That nagging feeling that something's off, that restless curiosity about what else might be out there for you – it's not just career dissatisfaction, it's something much more profound called "drift."

Host Binny Langler reveals the shocking truth about how even the most strategic planners can end up in an accidental life.
Sharing the exact moment a surprise phone call from her mother changed everything for her.

Discover why waiting for someone else to redirect your path is the biggest mistake you can make, and learn the simple but powerful action that can start revealing your next steps immediately.

In this episode, Binny covers:

  • The subtle but powerful concept of drift and how it differs from crisis moments that demand immediate action

  • Why small, seemingly innocent decisions to "stay put" can lead us away from the life we really want

  • Personal stories and insights from listeners who've experienced this phenomenon

    • Practical wisdom about taking that crucial first step into uncertainty
    • How to recognise when your internal compass is telling you it's time to stop drifting and start directing your one wild and precious life


    I'm your host Binny Langler, bringing you insights from my journey through two major career changes and my work as a Certified Strengths, Executive and Career Coach.

    Having spent nearly ten years in that exact space of wanting change but not taking action - I understand the fear, guilt, and self-doubt that keeps peoples stuck in careers that drain their soul.

    Now I guide professionals to break free from the cycle of career dissatisfaction and create work that energises rather than exhausts them.
